I wouldn’t generally consider my IP to username to be public.

Are they talking about your IP address or the service’s? Does ActivityPub even share the user’s IP address with other nodes in the network? That’d be crazy, so I assume that it doesn’t. Then Meta can’t find out your IP address.

The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin, officially connecting Pixelfed to the rest of the “threadiverse” that the other two platforms occupy.

From my understanding, we’ll be able to see Pixelfed groups on Lemmy just like any other community and follow them. There could be a group/community, where people publish photos of cats, their art, urban photography, etc.

Fediverse is diverse. We’re not a united group with the same political preference. I don’t see that happening.

You can’t even log into your account if you’re banned, how are you supposed to appeal?

Write an email, go to their Matrix or Discrod server. Try to reason with them and if you fail, well, maybe you shouldn’t be on that instance due to different views on what is right and what is wrong. With reddit you can’t jump to another reddit instance which is a disadvantage.

I didn’t know that I needed a Pricefield instance until now. But it’s down.

My forum was blocked at my work, it had roughly 20 active users.

It’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
